That's beautiful. The freedom to express oneself is priceless I live in Russia and here they put people in jail for mentioning LGBT, or just kill them. The hysteria in my country has reached such a point that recently an ordinary girl with blue hair was beaten by an adult man on the street and threatened to kill her. So people should appreciate what they have, and not whine about the parade

All ought to live by this motto we had in the 60's. Make love not war. Nice peaceful parade. Thanks for sharing.

Neat!

Oh man, I truly admire your courage and determination to get through those crowds. I’d have run away at one point. Awesome job, man!

yes, Johnny Prides! Thanks for showing us the scene.

[@BSBSPSensGirl88]

Nice to see a comments section that shows sanity, acceptance and joy instead of delusion, intolerance, bigotry and anger.

[@uraymeiviar]

this parade is disgusting!

[@jamestempleton553]

That’s exactly what Germans thought about Nazis in 1931.

[@eldeluxo]

This used to be a really wild scene, but has become a rather pedestrian multi cause event. Certainly a decent crowd for such a low/no budget event.

[@808v1]

yeah, I remember attending the first few of these parades - I seem to remember they were on Church Street at one time...and yeah they were wild and raw...and the Toronto Sun was going apoplectic.

[@Neville60001]

One KZbin video blogger was disappointed at the amount of coporate floats that were in the parade (and after haveing seen a bit of the coverage of the New York City parade [covered by NYC Superfriends and Bagels and Walks] that had only [IIRC] _one_ corporate float-Garnier Pharmacutical-I can see her point.)

[@ew374]

Such a beautiful country gone…😢

[@sepandttcexplorer]

Good morning Johnny! Great tour of the Pride Parade! I enjoyed it! I was at the pride parade too with Henry and EpicNation HD. @12:06, wow you even passed by us! We were at Yonge and Gerrard watching the pride parade as well and we didn’t even notice you were right behind us lol. Anyways, hope you have a great rainy Monday! Cheers

Awesome video :) I was part of the Furry (Fierce Furries TO and our float that had DJ music) group in the parade :) glad you enjoyed it!

Love me some furries!! ❤

[@levimora3025]

[@solomonkurtz6234]

I love the Pride Parade. My parents just wouldn't let me see it live. Let alone be in the Fierce event in the parade. I still love watching it on TV and KZbin. The news always has it. I can still attend the Pride Parade any time. Age doesn't matter. I'll come join the furry group when I have the chance. I haven't been active in the furry fandom so much. Hope you had a good day and I hope you stayed hydrated too. We have our life issues too.

How do you feel about meeting new people?

[@boomgraham]

Johnny, your choice to use the giant selfie stick (?) was a very good call. The views were outstanding! Are you seeing what you are recording or is it a best guess? Either way, excellent camera work... I saw Henry, Sepand and Liam across from Ikea with their backs to you...One last thing...swimming up stream against the parade makes so much sense. Good on ya!

[@JohnnyStrides]

I can see for the most part but there's def some guesswork lol

[@maragoodger905]

Ahh I remember those years I used to go to Toronto Pride - my first-ever Pride parade in my entire life was Toronto 2008. One day I hope to come back over the ocean and attend again!

[@Anonymous_Whisper]

Not the same

[@j.cassavoy4661]

I went for my first time this year. I marched with Happily Ever Esther Farm Santuary and I had a lot of fun. We were later in the parade and our float had a giant pink pig with pearls and bubbles coming out of her butt.❤

[@jimmyjimmy2075]

Gay parade 🤗

[@dobiefankw]

I’ve been at several pride parades with both straight and gay friends. The joy is infectious. The people complaining about naked bodies and children are the same people who allow their children to play video war games. Killing is fine, human anatomy is not. Very bizarre.

[@martym61]

Thanks for showing the parade. Wow that was a huge crowd.

Thank you Johnny for doing the parade massive amount of folks. So different from the Toronto used to know. Glad it is growing bigger than the West Hollywood Pride parade.

[@knightwatchman]

Has anyone noticed the inordinate amount of Millennial and Gen Z women involved in and attending LGBTQ+ events? Why is that so?

[@KingJaredoftheLand]

Great coverage Johnny! Only just caught glimpse of myself towards the end of the video marching with the Canadian Tire float. Such a fun weekend! Happy Pride to all 🏳️‍🌈

[@judyhansel8000]

Canadian LGBTQ is 4% of population. In US 7.2% of population Trans 0.01%. US Census Bureau

[@knightwatchman]

True. But look at the percentage of young people involved in this abomination. A recent Gallup Poll showed 1 in 4 (25%) of Generation Z (born 1997-2012) identify within the LGBTQ+ "community".

[@maxsupernova]

Your point?

[@knightwatchman]

@@maxsupernova My point (in my reply) is the young are being INDOCTRINATED into adopting a form of sexuality they know little about, rather than having their true sexuality develop, whether that be gay or straight. Then comes "Madison Avenue" sponsoring this indoctrination because it sees a burgeoning market which it is fostering.

[@Anonymous_Whisper]

Call the emergency act.... 😅😢. So where did that " we are coming for your children".. chant cime from?. It was a video Making the rounds.

@@rayhann8626 I think he's responding to current hubub outside of this occasion. Even I came to this video to sort of monitor how it's going and it's refreshingly nice. I'm proud of these people. Even if there are kids here there's nothing sexual or offensive happening, unless I completely missed it. I think the cringey parade stuff is an American problem, not a Canadian one.

[@levimora3025]

Wish I was in Florida then. I'm so sick of how much this is pushed in Toronto.

[@lynnvory]

I found out about it quite recently, and I was shocked. I'm an aspiring writer, and I'm writing a fictional story about LGBT refugees I sent to Miami. But after such a new reading, I realized that there was nothing for them to do there, and the plot broke. Now I'm fixing it. Six chapters are ruined. I collect information about Canada so that I have something to work with. I'm very sorry, I'm very disappointed.😢 Hang in there, you'll be fine.
